Horrible Packaging: Certs Candy and Rolaids

April 14th, 2008 . by admin

Ok, why do we tolerate the wrappers that certs breathmint candies and rolaids come in? Every try and peel the ultra-tight wrapping away from them? The candy starts to crumble in you fingers as you do it.

The foil and paper shreds off in tiny strips and goes everywhere.

As consumers, we should stop buying this stuff until they come up with a better alternative. No one speaks up about this stuff, we just allow it to go on and accept it as the norm.

Sometimes when you have heartburn and the thought of fighting to open a rolaids package this way can cause you to hope that the heartburn is only a short attack and will not last.

I’m all for small packaging to avoid filling our landfills, but come on, this is just as bad as CD shrink wrapping. Convenience foods and junk foods should be easily accessible. These are things we use while we are on the go… While walking, driving, at the mall, at work, in a restaurant etc.

So why make them so difficult and messy to open? I hate it!
